Hi Michael,
Mathematica standard package works only for 2D arrows.
To be able to draw 3D arrows, first download and install Harry Calkins'
_MyGraphics`Arrow3D`_ [1]. Then, you could evaluate
In[10]:=
<< "Arrow3D`Arrow3D`"
In[11]:=
Show[Graphics3D[Table[Arrow3D[{0, 0, 0},
{Sin[t], t, Cos[t]}], {t, 0, Pi/2, Pi/10}]]];
to get a bunch of vectors.
HTH,
Jean-Marc
